Verne's Tower - Flying Machine : As part of Fun Town, I was thinking of modelling a hot air balloon that revolved around the large tower, but in the previous blog on Mike Sharmans vertical boiler steam traverser, Mikkel commented that the traverser was very much in the stye of Jules Verne in appearance. This got me thinking about maybe modelling the hot air balloon baised on something Jules Verne might have designed, a web search was done and after browsing through many images a completly different approach was chosen. A small version of nautilus would be constructed that would be crafted from a super light weight cast iron and also include an helicopters rotor to enable flight.
What is Fun Town ? : Fun Town will be a small table top layout that will include a market stall railway, overhead tram, animated figues, rotating Jules Verne flying ship, hot air balloon, steam operated traverser and anything else that may be appropriate, in other words, a bit of fun.
